Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

My dad does this almost every single time we talk. Ignoring him doesn't work, correcting him doesn't work, he'll just not acknowledge I've said anything if he doesn't like what it is.

If the issue is important enough to correct him on, I have my husband repeat what I'm saying. That seems to work. The words need to be attached to a penis in order to be understood.

This also works in other contexts. If I'm ever too exhausted to take on someone like that head on or they just refuse to listen to me, the only real solution I've found is to have another penis holder make my point for me. Some people will not budge no matter how clearly out of their depth they are, unless someone they respect is talking.
